How would one figure a time delay fuse size for an elevator that says the following: (20hp, 208, 3 phase)

65 amps full load current with a max. allowable voltage drop of 5%

95 amps rated load current with a max. allowable voltage drop of 5%

195 amps starting current with a max. allowable voltage drop of 10%

I am guess a 90amp time delay fuse is sufficient, but the "rated" vs. "full" load amps is confusing. I thought they were the same thing. Thanks. Collier
